Not Only Delicious: Papaya Bast Fibres in Biocomposites
BioResources, 2016 Previous studies have shown favourable properties for papaya bast fibres, with a Young's modulus of up to 10 GPa and a tensile strength of up to 100 MPa. Because the fibres remain as residues on papaya plantations across the tropics in large quantities, their use in the making of green composites would seem to be worthy of consideration.
